Well even if you got just one point this week it was good enough for a top four finish
This is the third week in a row the Premiership had dipped into a overall minus massacre ( I Think )
Didn't have a lot to say last week , this week even less as its probably worse,
So needless to say the only one who got the Gamball correct ended up winning this week with a massive erm ..... 11 points ....
Congratulations WorldClass a truly World Class ...... well average performance that actually sees you take top spot !!
Next of the grid with a whopping three points was Sanjay who actually managed a correct score, only one more correct score followed in the whole of this division in week 19,
Making up the podium in third with just two points was Zinman, yet again being saved by his Bonus Ball shall I just copy and paste this ?
It's getting boring typing it out every week a bit like his write -ups
only joking mate,The last one in the positives was Twerton with you guessed it just a single point and then the carnage really started ............
St Charles and Amelia both came in the best of the rest with -2
Jokers struggles continued with -4
Matt despite being the other person to guess a correct score still manages to pull the self destruct button and ended up on -6.
Derby and our leader DD, who seems to be struggling just lately came home with -7, along with BBB, who despite trying to use two insurance balls which had no real effect as he got them both wrong anyway, so is placed bottom as a punishment
Maybe you should try using two Bonus Balls next week BBB ?
Better luck next week guys
Beefy
DD’s 36 point lead from last week now stands at 27 as his run of poor form continued this week and he now finds himself 3 points worse off than he was at the end of week 14, some 5 weeks ago, such is his bad trot at the moment.
Zinman in 2nd, did muster a 9 point swing this week, his attempt to challenge continuing as that gap was one short of 70 when our leader began to falter.
Sanjay also held on to the Zin’s coattails in 3rd with just 3 points separating those two, both will be hoping for our leaders woes to continue so that they can mount a serious title challenge.
BBB has to be content with a share of 4th now as his bad week cost him valuable ground and though St Charles didn’t fair much better, he still managed to move up a spot from last week.
Worldclass was this weeks biggest upwardly moving player as he celebrated his season’s highest position in 6th, shared with Derby who continues to struggle for points, and Amelia in 8th who is also desperate for a couple of good weeks points at the moment.
There is a gap opening up to the bottom 3 where Joker sits in 9th having added only 3 points to his total in the last 3 weeks. Although Twerton below him in 10th did make a little ground and moved himself off the bottom in the process at the expense of poor old Matt who suffered yet another Gamball failure. 15 attempts and 1 correct result have cost him 56 points off his total so far.
Avoid his Gamball prediction at all costs
.Bomber
A week full of unusual events - Albion win, Man City lose, I learn to tolerate those clappers and dry January comes to a premature, very wet but more predictable, end (partly due to one of those strange events). The Prediction League Championship produced their 3rd negative score this season, despite an unusually good return on the bonus ball and nobody got the gamball right.
So to this week's scores. Heading the table is Salop, only 3 correct results but he managed to get the scores right in all of them, including the bonus to give him his first winning week since September. Second place goes to Bomber, 5 correct results and 2 spot on scores though losing out on the bonus, his performance probably boosted by the thought of being caught by Beefy's recent surge (a truly frightening prospect). Baggieone claims third place, the only other player with a correct score and the only one not to lose points on Sunday, thanks to getting the Bournemouth score right. Vic held on to 4th place, benefiting from his decision not to gamble this week.
And on to the Minusmen. 4eva got 4 correct results but suffered from a full minimum on Sunday, losing on both his bonus and the gamball to give his 3rd consecutive week of negative scores. Beefy had spent all week predicting his 3rd consecutive week at the top but this prediction turned out about as reliable as......well as reliable as his score predictions, minus 4 points will ensure a quiet posting week for us all. He was joined by Stairs, like Beefy saved from more humiliation by getting his bonus result right. Lord Snooty seems to be doing his best to throw away promotion - I make it minus 7 points in the last 3 weeks, but is kept off the bottom by Quantum who got his bonus ball right but not a lot else.
Zin
Snooty’s poor week never looked like costing him his position at the top of the table but it did allow those below him to creep just a tiny bit closer to him.
The same can be said for 4eva who although reduced the deficit to 14 points, he also allowed those below him to close up on him, having added only 2 points to his total in the last 4 weeks.
18 points is the gap Baggieone & Bomber will be looking to reduce to get into a promotion place, as Bomber at least reclaimed a share of 3rd after relinquishing it last week.
Beefy lost ground on all those above him despite claims that last week’s decent score was a sign of things to come, it remains to be seen but Minusman could also be making a return to the proceedings.
Quantum held on to 6th, though is now over 30 points from climbing anywhere past halfway, while BaggieVicar & Salop climbed 1 & 2 places respectively into a share of 7th. Their upward movement came at the expense of Stairs who after showing signs of some form sadly returned to old ways and consequently back to the bottom of the table.
